Blowing the bat and ball
Discussion
Clement Clement Asked 6 years ago
Why do players tend to blow the ball and bat at the beginning of their serves?
Alois Rosario Answered 6 years ago
Hi Clement,
They may be cooling down the hand and fingers or getting rid of the specs of dust on the ball.
It may just be a habit of course.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat
Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

It could also be a ritual to calm down the player during tense situations
